Could someone clarify, are we talking about scenario queues or login queues? |

...Actually... if there was a system that rewarded people for rolling the low side ( xp bonus, loot bonus, something small )... it would work out pretty well..
theres a video of someone talking about this. They are going to give pve bonuses to the lower population side as an incentive to help them out and get to the level cap quicker. They might do it to sway people over to order also. ~ ~ Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. |

They will probably just nerf some of the classes in destro or enhance the classes in order. After all Good should always win anyway :P

To have a PREorder, you would have to have sold to a customer. |

True, maybe a system that would allow extra NPC's to help you out in scenarios/RvR? Dogs of War/Mercenaries or something. At one point I think they did mention something about potentially adjusting NPCs at keeps to help with balancing issues. I don't know however if they are still planning on doing that. Also however it is completely differnent playing against a real person as opposed to an NPC. The whole point of the RvR system as well is that you will be playing against other players in a completely dynamic system. If they did add NPCs to balance things people always find a way to bug them or glitch them so they dont have to fight them.

They have plenty of servers, they just opened them with lower caps so that people spread out while still leaving room for the se/regular folks to join their guildies Server I rolled on went from 200+ person queue to 0 queue in a matter of hours, after the initial rush, etc ---- |

Well as of right now there are not any queues, for any of the servers. Yesterday there were queues because people were excited to login and reserves their names, etc. Keep in mind that they were capping the server populatons to try and spread everyone out over all the servers. They have since been raising the caps. |

I want to say: "Horrendous login queues? The price of evil is great, indeed!" But, I don't think they've bumped the caps all the way up to the maximum yet, and they'll probably bring up more servers. In the long run, we're probably looking at a population advantage for Destruction, and a login queue is the price you pay for that. As for me, I'm rolling Order.

My goal during SE Headstart is simply to create my character stable, reserve my names. If I can then play, well that's a bonus. :) But really, just going to get on, create a full set of my 8 favorite Order classes. Then, move to a different server and create 8 of my favorite Chaos classes. Maybe move to two other servers and do the final 2 & 2. That is if we are not restricted to 8 total across all servers. Then, it would be 4 & 4. But that would be a tough choice. Good Hunting |

What would really help with login queues is a BAD ASS order class that would come out in a few months. Since you can't play both order and destruction on one server, people might pick the weaker side (order) and start a character. And, for the record, I still think the Chosen is OP'd..

Look at it however you want, money was transfer and it is in Mythics pockets. If you don't like it the WoW boards are over -------->. It's a Jeep thing. . .

Oh come on, don't be such a crybaby. Playing Order can't be that bad. At least roll an Order player for those times where you don't have time to sit in a queue. Sorry you can't always get what you want, but I think better gameplay is more important than making every single player get exactly what they want every time. Just think of switching to order like being anorexic. You may not want to eat, but if you don't, eventually you will die.

Yeah, I realize it is the middle of the day...The op was stating he logged in at lunch time and faced long queues. So I was letting him know that as of the time I was posting there were no queues fro any of the servers. |

maybe its just me but in around 50 scenarios i did today at least 2:3rd were won by destro,
Thats what everyone gets for always associating "evil" for badassedness...lol.. Even if they would have made both sides use the same classes all the way around, everyone would wanna go destruction.. Its in every game with a clearly defined "good" and "bad" side.. But im all for the underdogs :-).. My contribution has a chance of actually being noticed.. should be fun though.. “There are dread secrets that none may know and have peace.

Yes kazson, I actually brought this up this past spring. I had a feeling destruction was going to be over-populated and yep many will be forced to play a faction they didn't want to begin with. This may anger many, but who knows it could also blow over after a month or so. It just seems apparent to me that this is the draw back at present with this mmo. I wish you all the luck on finding a server that will allow you the freedom to choose...

There is no play advantage for the Destruction classes. Balance wise, nor play style wise. Playing Order, you have the advantage of shorter or no queues signing into the servers and you will be able to level up Realm Rank much quicker due to much shorter Scenario waits. It seems too many people prefer to "follow the herd" and/or have been influenced by efforts to make the Order races seem "uncool". You are playing a game. It's just as fun from either side. I find it just a little humorous that people would chose to play on a side with such a huge negative as the queue issues, then complain about the consequences of their choices. No one is making people play Destruction. No one is making people play Order. You know the pros and cons. That for so many people not playing the "uncool side" is more important than their ability to actually play the game with out long queues is really a bit odd in my book.

I wanted to play Destruction as well, but will be making Order characters first so that I don't have to wait to play. At the very least I am learning my future enemies' abilities and will know their strenghts and weaknesses when I am able to switch over.
